TBR TIRES​

E2C® Solutions enable tire compounders to deliver performance, sustainability and economic benefits that bring differentiated value to the market.

As global demand for sustainable mobility continues to increase, tire manufacturers are looking for new ways to improve the fuel efficiency and lifespan of tires, while reducing the costs and environmental impacts of tire production. 

For truck and bus tires that must carry heavy loads over long distances, durability and resistance to wear are crucial elements to ensure extended lifespan and reliability along with low rolling resistance to optimize fuel economy and maximize operational efficiency.

Our E2C DX9640 and E2C DX9660 solutions are specifically engineered to meet the requirements of this demanding application segment. Different applications demand different tread compounds with different performance metrics and a selection of polymer matrices beyond natural rubber.

E2C SOLUTIONS ENABLE TRUCK AND BUS TIRE MANUFACTURERS TO SOLVE MULTIPLE TREAD DESIGN TRADE-OFFS​:

tbr
long haul
Long operating hours and high-speed highway operation mean that long-haul fleets require tires that are both durable and minimize rolling resistance. Using high performace compounds is essential for prolonging original tread life, optimizing fuel efficiency and maximizing retreadability of the tire carcass.

Long-Haul Truck Tires

Long operating hours and high-speed highway operation mean that long-haul fleets require tires that are both durable and minimize rolling resistance. Using high performace compounds is essential for prolonging original tread life, optimizing fuel efficiency and maximizing retreadability of the tire carcass.

regional
Regional and Intercity tires need strong tread wear performance combined with toughness to resist damage on curbs and low hysteresis to maintain low operating temperatures. Using the right high performance tread compound can optimize the balance of failure properties to improve effective tire life and ensure safe operation.

Regional/Intercity Transport

Regional and Intercity tires need strong tread wear performance combined with toughness to resist damage on curbs and low hysteresis to maintain low operating temperatures. Using the right high performance tread compound can optimize the balance of failure properties to improve effective tire life and ensure safe operation.

road
Tires for use on and off road require a challenging mix of tread compound performance attributes. They need strong resistance to cutting and chipping to minimize the risk of premature failure and removal combined with competitive treadwear performance to maximize the expected tire lifetime. An effective tread compound will enable strong performance across a range of failure properties to deliver effective performance on and off road.

On/Off Road Truck Tires

An effective tread compound will enable strong performance across a range of failure properties to deliver effective performance on and off road.

retread
Fleets are prioritizing recyclability to reduce their overall operational costs and to enhance their sustainability profile. E2C tread compounds minimize the frequency of retreading as they enhance performance by improving tread life thereby extending the life of the tire carcass, contributing to significant economic benefits and reduced numbers of end-of-life tires.
